The whole profusely inlaid with brass with copper highlights, the shaped and pierced back inlaid with two confronting peacocks and the arms terminating in bone inlaid leopard heads. This chair is collapsable when the back rail and seat are removed but at present the stretchers below the legs are adding strength and would need to be unscrewed to fold.

Depth…20.5’’/ 52cm. Seat Height…19.25’’/ 49cm. Delivery to most of U.K. mainland £45.

FAQs

The Savonarola chair originates from Renaissance Italy as an X-frame folding seat, which was later adapted during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by Indian craftsmen in regions such as Hoshiarpur, who decorated the structure with detailed brass inlay and hand-carved motifs.

Artisans traditionally utilised dense native hardwoods such as teak, rosewood, or sheesham, painstakingly hand-engraving channels to inlay fine brass wire, brass sheet, bone, or mother-of-pearl in intricate floral and geometric patterns.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut brass sheet inlay set flush with the timber surface, natural surface patination, subtle variations in hand-carved detailing, and traditional joinery across the slatted X-frame construction.

Position the chair as a standalone sculptural feature in an entryway, library, or living space alongside neutral contemporary soft furnishings to highlight its decorative brass work and structural silhouette.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade clear beeswax polish to the timber annually, taking care not to snag microfibre threads on fine brass wire inlay edges.
